My view is that good skincare is a journey of improvements and is measured by results. I join you in your journey helping and directing you to a better functioning skin as needed.

 Skin Care attitudes in general, are slowly changing the focus to a more supportive and long term strategy that is more about preserving it’s qualities and it’s ability to function at the highest level possible at whatever your age.  Of course, this is helped or hindered by your own lifestyle choices and environmental stresses from both the past and the present.

We keep what is working and we look at what is not bringing desired results. Our journey together also starts by updating the fundamentals (I.e. how to cleanse and care for your skin as it presently functions, how to apply products, and in what order those products should be layered) and then keep working to improve how your skin functions.

I use only actives, mechanisms and techniques that, over the 60+ years that I have been a Skin Care Therapist, have proved themselves as producing the results we desire. 

A good functioning skin is one where every aspect of the skin is working at it’s best. 

• The barrier function of the epidermis is intact, which results in a fine pored, consistently hydrated and clear skin that glows with health.

• The Dermal Epidermal Junction (DEJ) is the interface between the Epidermis and Dermis and provides mechanical stability, governs nutrient and waste exchange and is involved in cellular communication, development and repair.  It keeps the skin strong and resilient.

• The Matrix of the Dermis is what keeps skin functional, flexible, and alive.  It is the loss of some of the component parts of the Matrix that we perceive as ageing.  The Dermis no longer supports the Epidermis as it used to and that lack of support, hydration and resilience is very noticeable.

With regular facials and diligent and consistent home care, you will achieve steady improvement in the functioning of all three of these parts of your skin, until the feed-back from those who know us best is clearly defined.
